Chapter 41: The Walls of the Seminary
Chapter 41:
The story of the old man Zhang's father and son who met a tiger in the mountain and escaped from danger quickly spread in the village, and many people speculated that the tiger was transformed by the mountain god and tested the two fathers and sons. Otherwise, why don't you eat them. Afterwards he was nowhere to be seen. Have you ever seen a tiger that doesn't eat people?
But no matter how people spread it, the Zhang family is now in a haze.
Father Zhang broke his leg in the mountain, and although he was connected after Dr. Hu's treatment, he didn't say anything about recuperating for a few months. In addition, medical expenses require a lot of money. This is a sad old woman.
"You kill a thousand knives, it's not like there is no meat to eat at home, drill into the mountains well, it's okay to break your leg, if you lose your life, what will you do with our family" Zhang Li cried as he guarded the old man in the room.
"Mother, let Dad have a good rest. Zhengyuan comforted: "The doctor said that you need to recuperate." “
"You have suffered a thousand cuts" Zhang Li was still crying, but when he heard his son say this, his voice immediately became much quieter.
"Erlang, you too, don't look at your father on the mountain, he is old, how can he outrun you. You only think about running for your life, why don't you ignore your father, you are an unfilial son!" Zhang Li has been guarding Father Zhang's side, and only at this moment did he have the heart to think about anything else, and when he saw the unharmed second son, he thought that when he encountered a tiger, his son only cared about his own life and ignored Lao Tzu. So he yelled at him.
I didn't notice Jiro's pale face at the moment because he was too frightened.
"Mother, don't scold. Erlang lowered his head, it was a fact that his father was injured, and he didn't want to argue about anything.
"You ruthless wolf cub, how can you leave your father and run away by yourself!" Zhang Li cried as he thumped and cried.
"Mother, don't you want to think about it, it's a big tiger. If Erlang doesn't run away, it's Erlang who will die!" Qiao didn't quite understand what happened, but she felt that Erlang was right to run. There's no reason to stand and feed a tiger.
"You instigated it. You're embarrassed to talk back, Erlang is a well-behaved child, and now it's all your instigation to become like this. Don't think I don't know, you instigated Erlang to break up in private. Qiao's suddenly bumped into the muzzle of the gun, and he was scolded by Zhang Li's in a good manner. His eyes were red, and he sobbed quietly.
"Cry, my father-in-law is not dead, why are you crying" She forgot who was crying just now.
"Old woman, you don't have to howl. Jiro didn't leave me, he saved me. Otherwise, I'd be in the belly of a tiger by now. "Father Zhang was injured and frightened, and he had already fallen asleep, but at this moment he was woken up by Zhang Li.
"Jiro is a good boy. Don't keep slapping him. The old man stretched out his hand and patted Erlang's arm, and said, "You are also frightened, go back to the house and sleep, and ignore your mother." After speaking, he said to Qiao's family, "Daughter-in-law, take care of your father-in-law, and you can take care of the family affairs more." ”
Qiao Shi responded, and hurriedly helped Erlang back to the room. As soon as it touched the pillow, Jiro fell asleep. Just confronted the tigers, and the energy consumed was even more tiring than a whole day's work.
"What should you all do, I'm tired and sleeping. The old man sent everyone away, and finally slept peacefully.
As soon as Chunsheng returned to the village, he went to Shumin, and he felt the need to remind her. In case the tiger really goes down the mountain, the two of them are weak and small, and they are not joking.
After listening to his advice, Shumin also felt that it was too unsafe at the foot of this mountain, not to mention fierce beasts, even if there were people with bad intentions lurking in, it was also a very dangerous thing, so she decided to rearrange the yard, to increase the height and reinforcement, and to plant a circle of roses on the periphery. The roses have thorns, and the flowers are fragrant and beautiful.
"It's winter!" Chunsheng was speechless and reminded, "You can't grow roses in winter." ”
Shumin was a little helpless, so he had to wait until next spring to get some rose seedlings.
"Is Daddy Zhang's leg okay?" asked Shumin. Although he left Zhang's house, he still had to ask when he heard such news.
"I don't know, it should be broken. I'll be there later. By the way, I will take a look at it and sue you again. Chunsheng replied. "The matter of repairing the yard should be dealt with as soon as possible, and I will help you ask later, and strive to start construction in these two days. ”
"Okay, that's for you. Shumin wished he hadn't had to worry about anything.
The conversation between Chunsheng and Shumin naturally did not hide from the other two people in the courtyard, and after Chunsheng left, Zhengxing's daughter-in-law went to Zhengxing to bite her ear
"Boss, look at it, Chunsheng cares so much about Hui'er Niang!" said Zhengxing's daughter-in-law.
Zhengxing ignored her and lowered his head to grind tofu.
"If you want me to say that Chunquan is really good, he has good skills and good looks, and it would be good if Hui'er Niang could really make a difference with him, but it's a pity" Zhengxing's daughter-in-law sighed again as she spoke.
Zhengxing ignored her and lowered his head to grind tofu
"Do you think Hui'er Niang's illness can be cured? Now that she has money, she can slowly recuperate, in case she is recuperated, do you think they can succeed?"
Zhengxing still grinds tofu with his head down.
"I said that I am in charge, but you replied to me, why do you just care about grinding tofu with your head down!"
"I'm here to grind tofu, if you have that free time, hurry up and make another tofu. Drunken Wind House has added another order. ”
Zhengxing's daughter-in-law was swallowed by Zhengxing, so she had to put down the topic and run to see if the soy milk was boiling.
Zhang's family, Qiuhua was folding vegetables in the yard, and when she saw Chunsheng coming, she immediately got up and shouted, "Brother, why are you here?"
"I'll take a look at the old man, how is he?" Chunquan said with a smile when he saw that his sister's complexion had improved a lot.
The father-in-law was frightened and fell asleep. Rest on your legs for a few months. Autumn Flower replied truthfully.
"Where's your mother-in-law?" asked Chunsheng
Xianggong accompanied her to the clan. The father-in-law's leg costs a lot of silver, so I guess I borrowed it. Autumn Flower was a little worried.
"Is your family running out of money so soon? What are you going to do? Chunquan was a little worried.
"I just got pregnant, and it's not good to eat too much. I had some silver in my hand, and my mother-in-law asked me not to move, saying that she would keep it for me to spend on myself. Autumn Flower smiled.
"That's not bad" Chunquan saw that the Zhang family was okay with his sister, and he was immediately relieved.
"If it's all right, I'll go back first, and I'll bring you some meat in the evening. Chunquan saw that his sister was alone at home, and it was not easy to disturb the old man when he was asleep, so he took his leave. Qiuhua wanted to keep the meal, but he thought about helping Shumin rest the courtyard, so he excused himself.
After that, Chunquan went to the mason master Wang in the village, mentioned all the requirements of Shumin's courtyard, asked him to estimate the price, and by the way, listened to his professional construction and made some changes. After that, considering that it was at the foot of the mountain, the courtyard should be higher than that in the village, and finally negotiated five taels of silver for a meal. The price is relatively high, but the value for money can't be taken into account.
The courtyard began to be built two days later, because considering the problem of residents, the courtyard was demolished while doing, the new courtyard wall is paved with green bricks, the **** is brushed on it, the courtyard wall is very high, the top is covered with green tiles, and it looks very harmonious from afar. Because the courtyard wall is very high, there is a small window in the shape of a large diamond composed of four small prisms every other section of the courtyard wall, which is small and safe.
Shumin couldn't help but sigh once again at the craftsmanship of the ancients, whether it was the cornices or the windows, they all echoed the white wall, which was both beautiful and generous, and full of artistic atmosphere.
"Master Wang, your craftsmanship is really good. Shumin is not stingy with praise.
"Hui'er Niang, if you are satisfied, you can cook a few pieces of tofu at noon, the brothers like to eat your tofu very much!"
"Okay, if you like it, I'll stew a big pot of tofu. Shumin replied.
"Hahaha, okay. Master Wang waved his hand, "The brothers have heard it, add it and work faster." ”
In the past few days, the Shumin Courtyard has been in full swing, but Chunquan has not come over to help. But the time of noon was very punctual, and the day did not fall - eating.
"As soon as I ate it, I knew that it was Aunt Zhengxing's cooking. Chunquan picked tofu in a big bowl and ate it in the meat bowl.
"Why?" Aunt Zhengxing asked jokingly.
"Because it's delicious! My aunt's craftsmanship is good, and if this is made by whoever made it, the tofu will be broken." Chunquan said mercilessly. "Feng An, you said yes or no.
Feng An didn't speak, just nodded vigorously.
Shu Min's face turned white and red, if it weren't for the crowd, he really wanted to go over and give him a chopstick.
"Just eating, not working, embarrassed to talk about me" Shumin took two bites of rice fiercely and bit hard, as if biting someone.
I really didn't find out that Chunquan was a black-bellied master once he was ripe. I saw that he was quite stable before!
It took half a month to build the entire yard. The courtyard is so high, the courtyard gate is not simple, although it is not very big, but it is very exquisite: the wall on both sides extends to the inside and outside, and the stone steps are integrated, the top of the wall has a double cornice design, the top of the door is a beam design, and the walls on both sides form a small eaves, the eaves are warped outward, covered with cyan tiles, the measurement below is the vermilion gate, the door is carved with a unicorn shape of the beast, above the door, there is a small plaque between the door and the beam, the plaque is covered with a red cloth, I don't know what is written.
"Oh, this courtyard gate is so beautiful, it's like the door of the landlord's house. Zhengxing's daughter-in-law said enviously.
"Have you seen the door of the landlord's house?" someone asked.
"I haven't seen it, I've heard it in the play. Zhengxing's daughter-in-law replied, causing everyone to laugh.
"This one is doing well, and if Chunquan doesn't hunt, he would be a good carpenter. Master Wang exclaimed.
"This door was made by Chunquan?" Shumin said in surprise. She knew that Chunquan's carpenter work was good, but she didn't expect it to be so good!
"Didn't you ask him to do it?" Master Wang said with a puzzled look when he saw Shumin asking.
"Oh yes, I just didn't expect it to be so good. Shumin explained. Master Wang nodded, he didn't expect it.
"What's written on that plaque?" Feng An had always wondered when the adults would be able to remove the red cloth.
Shu Min smiled and removed the red cloth at the behest of Master Wang. "Minyuan" two delicate characters stand proudly on the plaque. Apparently by a woman.
That day, Chunquan inadvertently talked about the fact that there was too much blank space between the beam and the door, or to hang a plaque, Shumin immediately agreed, and wrote the word Minyuan in the style of sketching, why is it a sketch? Shumin is a modern person, and it is difficult to write with a brush.
"You come over every day to eat, it's time to play your light and heat. Shu Min gave these two words to Chunsheng and never asked again, she knew that Chunsheng would definitely carve them out.
Originally, it was not difficult to carve two words with Chunquan's craftsmanship, but who knew that he had made such a delicate door for himself. In just half a month, is it really that easy?
Shu Min looked at the man standing in the crowd admiring his masterpiece, and seemed to be very satisfied with his work, smiling very happily, and couldn't help but think of his zodiac sign Virgo.
"What a good child, fortunately you were born in ancient times, otherwise no matter how good you are, your constellation will make other girls retreat!"
Someone in the crowd saw Youdao's gaze following him, and he became more and more proud and satisfied!
